So I'm An Islander – Stelheij (2016)

Comment:
the Danish producer Søren Nissen Jørgensen has been on the field
since the May of 2011 being truly prolific since then. Similarly to
his previous issues at Stelheij
Søren Nissen Jørgensen is meddling the components of silence and
still life, dealing with picturesque glimpses and unhurried
progressions in texture and timbre. Piano chords get fleshed out with
echoes and minimal chord
changes for that are added
exquisite orchestrations to
be tightly around it going
to live their own lives across
the pathway to nowhere. But
the nowhere is beatific and wondrous something
which is strange yet enticing, somehow
warm yet immensely superior. The chords are subtle at times getting dilated to the point just changing into water vapour and then merging semalessly into the Sun. The
artist is panning the chords over and over to make the
shifts within it look like a
natural fare for your cerebral lobes. And
it fosters well. Even if you would like to
get more into the 5-track issue just stare at the cover print which
probably will make you dizzy and
eventually drugged-out. The
world is a little bit better place after listening to this sparse set
of 16 minutes. Indeed, the
issue makes sense in the year of 2016.
